Lacy's (21-0, 17 KOs) victory over Robert Pemberton (29-4-1, 24 KOs) marks his fourth consecutive defense of his IBF Super Middleweight title since winning it in October 2004. Omar Shieka is the only challenger went the distance with Jeff "left-hook" Lacy. The reason Pemberton was in position to challenge Lacy for the title were his back-to-back victories (W-SD, TKO-10) over Shieka.
Lacy is known for his 'left hook', but it was his right hand that earned him a two round knockout over Pemberton. Lacy's power advantage was apparent in the first round as he pushed Pemberton back with bludgeoning power punches. In the second round a Lacy' bomb put Pemberton down to the mat. He was able to make it up to his feet, but moments later, a crushing right hand from Lacy sent Pemberton crumbling down to the canvas face-first. The referee immediately stopped the fight once Pemberton crashed to the mat and appeared seriously hurt. [details]
